Do we have a team

[bushkangaroo]

If three out of Gabbidon, Dyer, Buzz, and Hall, can stay fit and play week in, week out somewhere near their best form, and if Warnock stays and Adel is interested, in all seriousness we have half a chance of staying up despite the championship full backs. The problem is that the above scenario is far-fetched. Bit like a Starwars movie to be honest. So the answer has to be that we have virtually no chance without major signings of finishing higher than 20th ie last place.

is adel still around?

[dodge-stoke-r]

I'll have some too. 4 players out of a squad of 25 is not enough to stay up.

Faurlin, Tarrabt, Boothroyd, Kenny are all good enough to hold their own against lesser teams in the Premiership. Not one of them would get into a side traditionally in the top half of the table.

Derry/back four and HH are good Championship players

Ramage/Ephraim/Agyemang/Clarke/Cerny/Alberti/Pellicori/are not good enough for the Championship.

Yeah and if my auntie had had a couple of "nads" she'd have been my uncle

I think we have too, though wouldn't say no to a few more signings

[Sleeping Giants]

Yes. NW has always stated he only needed to add 5 or 6 players:

Bothroyd and Dyer in the attacking front.

Murphy likely as GK.

Gabbidon as central defender.

That leaves a FB and Defensive Midfielder:

FB could be one of:

Clyne
Bertrand

Midfielder could be:

Bullard
Montgomery

That leaves the possibility of signing a speedy winger or a DJ Campbell as additional cover up front, but would DJ fit into the system anyway?

I really cant see anyone else coming in for big money.

What's the deal with Murphy?....Did we really need a new 3rd choice keeper?
